Chapter 15 1 Family of 3

Whether it's Tu Hao or Xu Mingxu, they are genuine officials. It is convenient to do many things. They don't need to start from scratch like others, and they have to do everything by themselves.

Tu Hao didn't have any resistance to the obedient and beautiful boy. Seeing that he was puzzled, he explained to him little by little: "Now you have few people and money on hand, and you don't have enough accumulation in all aspects. First, find a housekeeper who can take care of housework. , to handle some daily chores for you."

Xu Mingxu sighed: "I found it. The housekeeper is harder to find than the book boy."

On the contrary, he found two school boys who were about the same age from his family's children, and they seemed to be smart, but to be a book boy, he had to recognize two characters and learn the rules, so he left them at home to be taught by a special steward.He doesn't need the book boy to follow him for a while.Anyway, he didn't have a book boy before, and he has been here for so many years.If there is something wrong, Qi Qi will take the initiative to deal with some trivial matters since he and Tu Hao have a good relationship.Now every three or five days at home, someone will come to deliver some things, and help with some heavy work by the way.

"Actually, it's not hard to find." Tu Hao has experience in this area. "Those big girls in front of your grandma used to be more than enough to take care of your small family now. Just ask your grandma if there are any girls in their thirties. candidate."

In fact, he was born in this era, and he was blinded to those things in the family at first.His mother passed away early, and his sister was not very old at that time, and his mother's two dowry maids helped to manage all the housework at home, and taught them little by little.

The situation of their family at that time was not much different from Xu Mingxu's now.The population of the Tu family is simple, and the father is busy with business, let alone the small family.When their siblings were two children, they lived in Ye's house for many days, and they were all taken by their grandmother.

Tu Ying is just an ignorant little girl who doesn't understand anything and only laughs foolishly all day long.Although he is a little young, there must be someone in charge of a family.He is not a real child, can he still count on a little older sister?

There are many Ye family members.There are several rooms in the family, and almost none of them does not take concubines.It has been passed down through generations, and the situation is more complicated than that of the Xu family.A large part of the reason why the Ye family is so mediocre is that the old lady of the Ye family is very strict.Moreover, the rules of the Ye family's generals are much less particular than those of the civil servants, but once they commit a crime, two lashes will be light.

For example, the Ye bandits, no one would listen to them when they reasoned with them at such an age; only when they were beaten until they knew the pain could they be honest for a while.

Old Mrs. Ye is old, so most of what she has to do is just to have a look. The specific management of the inner house is still the big maids under her hands.Some of the big maids who got married were almost all accused of being the stewards of the house. After getting married, they followed their husbands to take care of various industries inside and outside the house.

These days, the owner's business is to be looked down upon.Generally, the property of a large family mainly relies on a large amount of land rent.In addition, there are some items operated by imperial court franchise officials, such as salt, tea and so on.If businessmen want to do these businesses, they have to find a way to buy from officials.For example, for someone like his father, just relying on selling this part of the money for a year is enough to support the livelihood of a small family.Of course, the population of the Tu family is simple, and there are not many people in the whole family.

Xu Mingxu just hadn't been exposed to this aspect, and he wasn't a wooden fish head. Hearing what Tu Hao said, he immediately realized it. He smiled and stretched out his hand to scratch the little mouse's creaking nest: "Who taught you this? So ghosts and ghosts?" .”

Tu Hao never expected that the beautiful boy would be able to tickle people, he jumped up from the bed like a squirrel with a sharp laugh, and almost hit the top of the bed.

It was a cold day, and the quilt was lifted just like that. Even Xu Mingxu, who was naturally hot, felt a chill. Looking at Tu Hao, who was running around on the bed with his bare feet, his heart softened immediately: "Come here, it's my brother who doesn't care. Alright, brother won't tickle you anymore."

Tu Hao looked at him suspiciously, whether it was cold outside, he still crawled into bed slowly, slipped into the arms of the beautiful boy, and blatantly put one leg on the beautiful boy's stomach.

Xu Mingxu pursed his lips and let out a muffled laugh, but he didn't dislike it either. He stretched out his hand to hold the little foot and warmed it up: "This former big maid who is about 30 years old is now a lady in charge. If you want to come to me to be a housekeeper , so of course the whole family came with them." In addition, most of the couples have children, and they are all real family-born children.Calculate if they have a son at this age, they can almost be his school boy and servant.

Tu Hao rolled his toes at first, for fear that Xu Mingxu would scratch the soles of his feet. After being covered for a while, his whole body became loose. He turned over one by one, and rolled over from Xu Mingxu's body to the other side of him. A foot was pushed over: "Didn't you say that your book boy was found? Believe it or not, your butler will be found in a few days?"

What he can understand, how could the old lady of the Xu family, who was once the head of the house and still has the highest say in the family, not understand?As for why the book boy arrived first, but the housekeeper was nowhere to be seen... He was sent out to take care of himself. In modern terms, he is at least a project manager. How could he leave as soon as he wants, there must be a handover.

Xu Mingxu was stunned, then smiled, blew out the candle, covered the quilt, and patted the child's back with his hand: "Go to sleep." How many things are there in this little head?

Sure enough, within a few days, when Xu's mansion delivered something again, a family of three followed.Although the homework in Guozijian is heavy, it is basically taught by teachers for half a day, and students study by themselves for half a day.Most of the time in the afternoon is arranged by myself.

Xu Mingxu didn't avoid anything, he just hugged the little mouse on his lap and asked him to continue reading.Taking advantage of his young age, Tu Hao sat comfortably in Xu Mingxu's arms.Although a brazier was lit in the room, how could it be warmer than a beautiful boy?

The woman looked 27 and [-], and her appearance was upright. From Tu Hao's point of view, she was a royal sister.

Sister Yu laughed before saying anything: "My servant Qingyi, thanks to the favor of the young master and the old lady, came to take care of some chores for the young master."

The man next to Yujie has a goatee, good facial features, loyal and reliable at first glance, and he speaks like an uncle next door. Hearing it makes people feel calm: "The villain's surname is Yang, and his family is four-year-old. , I got the name Jianming from the old man. If the young master doesn't dislike it, I would like to recommend myself to be a foreign affairs manager."

The child in front of the two is nine years old, named Yang Xiaozhong.Xu Mingxu had met him two days earlier, and he was one of his selected book boys.

Xu Mingxu didn't express his joy or displeasure on the spot, he said a few words to the family of three in a flat manner, and then asked Yang Xiaozhong to follow Qi Qi to make arrangements.

The status of Qing Yi and Yang Si in the Xu family is probably higher than that of the common concubines, concubines, concubines and aunts who are not favored.But now that he is working in his second room, even though his grandparents are suppressing him, he still has to act like a master and not be led by the nose.

Seeing that Qi Qi lived in Xu Mingxu's original house, Xiao Zhong didn't dare to inquire further.

Among his peers, Qi Qi is considered to be very tall, taller than Xiao Zhong by more than half a head, and it is not obvious that he is only one year older than Xiao Zhong.

He welcomes friends to come, and made the bed with Xiao Zhong: "This room originally belonged to your young master, but now the two young masters live together, and this room is left to us." After a pause, Qi Qi added, "Oh, only this half. The other half is where the young masters eat. The bed is very big, why don't you sleep with me? If you're not used to it, there's a low couch to sleep on here."

They were all teenagers. Although the Guozijian beds were not particularly big, they could sleep five or six on a horizontal bunk for them.Xiao Zhong saw it and said, "Seventh brother doesn't dislike me, so we slept together. Put all the quilts I brought together, and sleep warmer at night."

As soon as Qi Qi heard someone calling him brother, a flower bloomed in his heart, he happily worked with Xiao Zhong, and when he was done, he took Xiao Zhong to the Imperial College to recognize people.

Xu Mingxu took a look and found that the two bookboys got along well, so he felt relieved and looked at a booklet sent by Qing Yi and Yang Si.

Tu Hao didn't avoid suspicion, and leaned his head to look at it together. After a quick glance, he found that there were some assets of the second house now, and some content that could be slightly manipulated in the future.

Erfang has very few things now, but it can be written in two or three pages, but the records are clear and orderly, and it can be regarded as a pretty good accountant in this era.As for the future plan, it talks about how to rely on the private property of a shop given by the old lady to gradually increase the property in the future.

A shop in the capital is no small feat.The old lady obviously valued Xu Mingxu very much.Of course, this is not because Xu Mingxu is so pitiful, but because Xu Mingxu is too good.Otherwise, it's not like Xu Mingxu is the only concubine in the Xu family who doesn't live like a young master. Why don't the old lady and the old man ignore their son and daughter-in-law and directly take care of their grandson?And it has been delayed until the teenage years when children can almost support themselves?

There may be some family affection among them, but how much of it can be accounted for is open to discussion.

In modern family planning, most two families only have one or two children.Let alone children who are as smart and sensible as Xu Mingxu, even if they are brats, they should be treasured in the palm of their hands.

Xu Mingxu suddenly heard the child in his arms, and heaved a long sigh like an adult. He thought the appearance of the little mouse was really funny, but he didn't dare to laugh, and tried to hold it in his stomach, and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"

Tu Hao stood directly on his lap, patted Xu Mingxu's head with his arms around him, and said earnestly, "Good boy, I'm good to you."
